4:3 Conversion
Once you have your movie or TV show ready, download Videora Ipod Converter which is FREE only because of Donations. Once this is done istall it, and open it. If your video has a normal aspect ratio (not 16:9) you can click on setup,

The default settings are really good if the aspect ratio is formated for full screen 4:3. If it is go ahead and transcode your first video for the ipod using MPEG-4/320 X 240/1500 kbps stereo/128kbps. here is an example of it done right

16:9 Conversion
Now if your original video has the 16:9 aspect ratio and you follow these instructions you will get a picture like this

If you notice when a 16:9 aspect ratio original is converted, the results make everyone look tall and skinny all squished up together. To solve this problem you have to create a new profile. Once this is done configure it with the same options I have. I named the profile 16:9 for easy reference.

Once this is done go to the convert page. Click transcode new video, choose which video to convert, pick the quality profile in which you just created, and click start. I ended up with this result.

Isn’t that so much better than this
